But if I can remember rightly, they had it stopped because one or two girls got hurt, because they used to throw them from one to the other, you know, like you see on the films, you know, I think they stopped that then. I worked with three sisters and they had a whale of a time at Rothley with the Americans. They had them right and left - they'd go in a pub and they’d give them a fiver, they’d give them change of a pound. Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview.

They would give him anything, you know. But there was quite a lot of arguments and things in the towns with them. But I think they've got on pretty well with everybody. I think our soldiers resented them because they got more money than us. I think that was the only thing. And if there was any coloured people, there wouldn't have anything whatsoever to do with them. You know, they just think it was terrible because they were allowed to speak to white ladies.

I mean, they were billeted among the houses in the village. So not only we've got the evacuees, but we’ve also got the radar Canadian unit at the top of the village, the army. They did have their own camp, but it seemed an awful lot of people in the village at the same time. Do you think made much difference to the social life and the girls in the village? Very much so, yes. Yes, I was about to turn 11/12. We used to watch the older girls making eyes at the soldiers and the airmen and I was envied quite a bit because we had a an airman staying next door at my grandmother's house and and he was a lovely chappie. And he used to take me and look after me at the the village dances. So I was quite honoured, really. I've got my own bodyguard. One or two of the the soldiers married village girls and actually still live in the village, you know. Did it caused much friction between the local boys? A little bit, yes, because we had the village school was used at the weekend for dances and if we didn't get a fight, it wasn't village dance. And we haven't got to the local constable then. He came from Markfield and he used to enjoy a drink and if there was any trouble, either in the pub or the dance hall, it disappeared on his bike. Or he came and cheered mom. But it was just, there was some, there was a knife fight one night. I remember this in particular in the in the toilets, in the in the boys playground. There was a knife fight, you know. Who was that between and who? The local lads and the Canadian airmen, actually. Yeah, but no one really got injured. They were separated before it got too far, but I know knives were drawn and it got rather nasty, you know, but there's usually a punch-up in the village when there's the village dance in any case. Whether there were soldiers there or not? Yes, yes. Oh yes. There was a pub across the road, so they used to go and get pretty tanked up in the pub and then come across the village dance, you know, I mean, as kids, I remember running around saying ‘ohh fight there’s a fight’, you know. And there were more people outside in the playground than there was in the pub. Yeah, it was good fun, really. There didn't seem to be the viciousness, somehow, you know, there was a fight and that was it. And it was all over. Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview.
